Yeah that might be a possibility but only if you are willing to pay a mark up. Me personally I'm waiting for fall to put in my order, hopefully by that time the GT500 is open for ordering and the bullitt will be relegated to those who really want one. At 60K though it's objectively a bad buy edpecislly when you can get a slightly used c7 for gt350 for about 50.

Can't judge a car by the ridiculous asking price a greedy dealer slaps on it though. My guess is these will start under 50k and will go to 53-55k with every option. I'm expecting my non-Recaro, MR + Electronics build to be around 53k max but that's just a guess. If for some crazy reason Ford prices these so they're over 55k, I may sacrifice the options and go for a base Bullitt and/or need a dealer or manufacturer discount to keep the sticker under 55k.

Ford officially said GT500 is not coming till 2019 calendar year. They may show it at an auto show before then, but I strongly doubt ordering will be open for those till next year.

Matt, I agree with you. I'm looking to order the exact same car as you described and I think 52 would be the perfect spot. BTW I dig your YouTube channel, good stuff.

Here's an interesting question, how much would you guys be willing to pay for the car? Cut off for me is 55k.[/QUOTE

It would seem to me hard for Ford to move these if they got with 5k of the Shelby.

Nope.

It will sell, because someone, somewhere is or will be willing to pay $X, or come with a blank check. Dealer markup won’t deter them either, nor would the possible fact that the cost could encroach into Shelby territory.

Some are going to buy and mothball the car - so in 50 yrs, it might be an investment (stress the word might).

There might be a handful of people with money to burn that will pay whatever, but if they want to sell a decent amount of these they need it to be comfortably under GT350 pricing. The amount of people cross shopping the two is huge.

I just saw the Bullitt at an auto show. IMO, the red calipers are so out of place on that car. I do like the clean grill and the Bullitt fake gas cap. The chrome is a hard call, it gives the car some retro touches but I don't know... Maybe it would have been a good time to black out the trim. I know why it's there, but the look doesn't exactly work to me. I think this car may look better in the black.
